ABSTRACT
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is characterized with
multiple benign proliferative lessions of the respiratory tract.
It can cause airway obstruction that threatens life, quality of
the voice and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). Some
reports have established 3,870 new cases per year in children
in Mexico. The course of the disease is variable, some patients
may experience spontaneous remission and others suffer
aggressive disease with requirement of multiple surgeries for
debulking procedures, which can lead to scarring, stenosis and
loss of function. In order to reduce or eliminate the need for
surgery, surgeons have used various adjuvant therapies, but so
far there is no high-quality evidence to demonstrate adequate
efficacy and safety profile of those therapies. Transfer factor has
an immunomodulatory effect, which in certain circumstances in
vitro, has demonstrated to modify immune response. Five cases
of patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis treated with
transfer factor in our institution are presented.
